Roadmap

The dates here are our best guess for now, and may change based on feedback.

Alpha version - available at www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/.

This is already available. Current problems we are aware of are:

  • search functionality, even though working, does not behave in a similar way to OLS 3, and
  • currently preferred roots has not been implemented on the frontend.

Beta version

The issues mentioned above we hope to have resolved shortly. The current aim is for 27 Jan 2023.

Though we have made every effort to test OLS 4 extensively, we may have areas we have missed. If you notice any issue, please open an issue here if a relevant issue does not exist already.

Stable version

We hope to address issues uncovered by the community by mid Feb 2023.

What about OLS 3?

Switch off

This will depend on when we have a stable version of OLS 4 available. Ideally OLS 3 will still be available for 6 months after a stable version of OLS 4 is available. Thus current switch off of OLS 3 aimed for mid Aug 2023.

Data releases

Unfortunately we will no longer do any data releases on OLS 3. In the first and second week of January 2023 we have tried repeatedly to do either full data releases or partial data releases. However, all our efforts here have failed. Hence the reason for no further data releases on OLS 3.
